SUMMERROLLS W/ PEANUT TAMARI SAUCE

Let me introduce: The summerroll, lighter and green version of the springroll! I often call it the cool big sister of little springroll.Everytime I feel I might have a cold or low energy, I get help by raw green vegetables and leaves to make me feel alive and balanced again! But sometimes I want more than just a green juice or salad, or how for a little change for your dinners which you share with your loved ones and turn them a tad more green! Enter Summerroll – wrapped in green, green inside and green ontop! Still, its flavor and looks is definitely not boring or reminds us of medicine at all! And yet, they are little nutritional powerhouses of vitamines, minerals and herbs uniquely synergised!Instead of fried dough, I used red beet greens. Their health benefits are of a much higher value than the beet itself. Rich in vitamines B,C,K, iron, beta-carotene, chlorophyll, calcium and magnesium. The antioxidant Vitamin A plays a huge role by strengthening our immnue-systems and supporting our body to build antibodies!The summerrolls are filled with green seasonal veggies. Green asparagus, artichoke, snow peas, parsley, avocado and fennel. Green asparagus, parsley, avocados and even peanuts contain the protein glutathine, which is essential for our metabolism and important for the immune system. It helps fighting off free-radicals and regulates detox process!Pretty impressing right? Truly tasty and fresh too by the way!It’s easy and real fun to eat healthy through this recipe, especially when you prepare it with others. Let yourself inspire by the summer’s dazzling array or your favourite salads and turn them into little crispy summerrolls! & e n j o y!
